The Court, having ruled that it had no jurisdiction to hear the matter in general, had acknowledged that since a request had been received concerning the establishment of a partnership working party and a relevant and appropriate subject matter had been identified for discussion within the framework of such a forum, the convening of such a forum by the Commission was mandatory.
Tras resolver que la cuestión en general no era de su competencia, el Tribunal reconoció que, puesto que se había recibido la petición de establecer un grupo de trabajo mixto y se había definido un tema pertinente y apropiado que habría de tratar ese foro, la Comisión tenía la obligación de convocarlo.
